American journalist, novelist and university professor who wrote of American life in various post WWII periods in America. He published his first novel in 1947, "The End of My Life." "The Hound of Earth" published in 1955 used the Cold War as its historical setting. His first marriage ended in divorce after producing two children. He married Yasmin Mogul, a former student, in 1985. In late August, Bourjaily lapsed into a coma after a fall. He died on August 31, 2010 in Greenbrae, CA. Books: The Atomic Blues. THE HOUND OF EARTH (250 pp.)​I/once Bourjaily​Scribner ($3.50). These books are bedside bulletins in the form of novels about two scientists who suffer a crisis of conscience over the atom bomb. British Novelist C. P. Snow charts the crisis in stately prose; U.S. Novelist Vance Bourjaily prefers a honky-tonk jazz tempo. But they both reach an annoyingly simple and characteristically 20th century diagnosis​life is a dirty trick. The hero of The New Men is a run-of-the-treadmill English physicist named Martin Eliot. Early in World War II, Martin decides that he wants 1) success and 2). The Hound of Earth by Vance Bourjaily. Vance Nye Bourjaily (September 17, 1922 – August 31, 2010) was an American novelist, playwright, journalist, creative writing teacher, and essayist. T. Rees Shapiro from ''The Washington Post'', September 4, 2010. Bourjaily was born in Cleveland, Ohio to Monte Ferris Bourjaily, a Lebanese immigrant who was a journalist and later became editor of the United Features Syndicate, and Barbara Webb, an American-born features author and novelist. Bruce Weber ''Vance Bourjaily, Novelist Exploring Postwar America, Dies at 87'' from ''The New York Times'', September 3, 2010. Bourjaily moved several times during his youth. His childhood was spent in Connecticut, Virginia, and New York. Bourjaily graduated from Handley High School in Winchester, Virginia in 1939. After graduating, Bourjaily enrolled in Bowdoin College. With the coming of World War II, Bourjaily became a volunteer ambulance driver from 1942 to 1944. He then served two years in the army from 1944 to 1946. Bourjaily's time in the army was a central theme to many of his later writings. His Arab American themes are explored by literary critic Evelyn Shakir Bourjaily graduated from Bowdoin College with a B.A. in 1947. While at Bowdoin, he became a brother of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity (Theta chapter). After graduating, he lived for a few years in San Francisco, writing feature stories for the San Francisco Chronicle before moving to New York City in 1950. Bourjaily married Bettina Yensen in 1946. The couple had three children. His daughter, Anna, along with the daughter's fifth grade classmate, were killed in a 1964 car accident, in which Bourjaily was driving. Yensen and Bourjaily later divorced. Bourjaily remarried in 1985, to Yasmin Mogul (a former student) and had a son by her. According to his wife, Bourjaily died in Greenbrae, California on August 31, 2010 where he'd slipped into coma just a few days after suffering from a fall. Bourjaily's son Phil is a columnist for Field & Stream magazine. Raymond Carver named his only son, Vance, after Bourjaily. Carver was a student at the Iowa Writer's Workshop where he became friends with Bourjaily. Bourjaily's first novel, entitled ''The End of My Life,'' was heavily influenced by Bourjaily's wartime experiences. Critics said that the novel borrowed heavily from the style and tone of Ernest Hemingway. However, the novel was met with praise and was hailed by critic John W. Aldridge as a war novel on the level of Hemingway's ''Farewell to Arms''. Bourjaily's second novel, ''The Hound of Earth'', paints a picture of Cold War America through the eyes of a scientist who helped develop the atomic bomb. His third novel, ''The Violated'', dealt with the themes of violence and alienation. This book was also met with critical praise. Bourjaily spent much of his career in academia. From 1957 to 1980, he worked as a creative writing instructor and a professor at the Iowa Writer's Workshop. Bourjaily also worked at several other academic institutions such as Oregon State University, the University of Arizona, and Louisiana State University. At the latter institution, he was the first director of the MFA Program in Creative Writing. In 1978, Bourjaily served as a judge on for the National Book Award's committee to choose the award for fiction. *Contemporary Authors Online, Gale, 2009. Reproduced in Biography Resource Center.

  • Revolution on Campus
    1 Revolution on Campus The young girl who sidled into my office looked as if she had fought her way through a riot of enemies. Her brown hair was beaten into disorder, with here and there a desperate bobby pin hanging on by the tips of its fingers. Her slip hung well below her skirt as if deliberately yanked there. Straps snarled into sight at her shoulder. When she said, "I have brought some poems," her voice had the remote hush of someone speaking from an echo chamber. But the poems were wonderful meditations of whales and fleas and angels startled from telephone wires in small-town alleys. It was then I noticed that her eyes completely possessed her body and gave a central shape of living brown to a face whose features otherwise had hardly any relation to each other. Behind those eyes, I later discovered, was the true, glittering imagination of the artist. Physically and temperamentally, she would have seemed to many the embodiment of Greenwich Village. What had brought her to a university? A new thing is happening in America, something which gives such a talented girl encouragement and direction, something which may affect the whole course of our literature. For now the young writer has the middle ground of the college, with its other young writers and its teachers of writing, who are usually writers themselves. No longer does such a beginning poet have to choose between the fiery but often destroying incandescence of New York and the lonely spark of his own isolation in any of ten thousand towns across the continent.

  • Application for Iowa City, Iowa, Usa to the Unesco Creative Cities Network
    APPLICATION FOR IOWA CITY, IOWA, USA TO THE UNESCO CREATIVE CITIES NETWORK submitted on december 19, 2007 by the literary community of iowa city The Iowa Writers’ Workshop developed out of an idea, originally implemented in 896 at the University of Iowa, to teach “Verse Making.” By the 90s, the university had taken the radical step of granting graduate student credit for creative work. In 94, the first Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing was awarded. By the end of that decade, Flannery O’Connor was a member of the Workshop, which was fast becoming a national institution… . The Workshop jettisoned genius and ignored literary theory because, like the centuries-old tradition of rhetoric, it believed in the words of Paul Engle, that writing was a “form of activity inseparable from the wider social relations between writers and readers,” and that the nurture and love of literature could “materially affect American culture.” Tom Grimes, The Workshop creative theme: Literature point person: Christopher Merrill Director International Writing Program Shambaugh House 430 N.

  • A Story of the Stories of American Fiction After 1945
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19631-4 - The Cambridge Companion to: American Fiction After 1945 Edited By John N. Duvall Excerpt More information JOHN N. DUVALL Introduction: A story of the stories of American fi ction after 1945 This may well be the last volume ever to survey American fi ction from 1945 to the present. That is not because scholarship on this body of narrative is waning. Far from it. There is a more pragmatic reason for my prediction: the period is getting a little long in the tooth. The Victorian Era will never exceed sixty-four years. Modernism is often dated from 1890 to 1945 (a solid fi fty-six-year run), but the post-1945 period (which until recently we simply called “postmodernism ”), if a person, could now be collecting Social Security. It is only a matter of time before the profession decides that, if for nothing more than curricular reasons (after all, there is only so much one can teach in a semester), we need to close off the postwar period in some defi nitive fashion. Certainly, no one in 2045 will be teaching a course in con- temporary American fi ction from 1945 to the present. Not surprisingly, because the postwar period has been left openended for so long, there have been generational shifts, so that post-1945 fi ction looks quite different now than for earlier critics. One of the earliest attempts to make sense of American fi ction following World War II occurs in John Aldridge’s After the Lost Generation (1951), which saw contemporary nov- elists falling short of the achievement of American modernist writers.
